Blue Mage's implementation sucks. But, you aren't worse off for having it.

This isn't really changing anything though it's like releasing like half a job.

It is in line with SE releasing less and less content as expansions come out so I guess there is that.

If they released it like every other job people would complain about them not handling it differently. End of the day SE loses no matter how they do things.
